decisions, decisions…

For Christmas I have asked Nick to make me a headboard for our bedroom. It’s something we’ve always been lacking and I figured if I asked for it as a Christmas present with December 25 as a deadline, it will finally get done :) Of course, I need to do my part and choose a fabric, and decisions are not my strong suit.

So far I have narrowed it down to three choices. Our walls are a neutral warm light “bray” (brown-gray), and our bedding is simple white with a dark teal stitched border detail.

If you’re a Young House Love reader, you probably recognize the first fabric — it’s what they used on their headboard, which ultimately inspired me to tackle make Nick tackle this project. It has “my” colors and it has a nice organic feel to it, so I was immediately drawn to it. But then the other two are a little more poppy and my style, although I’m not sure how they would look on a headboard.

What would your choice be? Are there any other fabrics out there you think I should see to make my decision even more difficult? :)

I love all of these, but would go with one of the two on the right. I like that they’re a little more graphic. And the colors just comes down to what else is going on in the room (paint, bedding) and if you want a soft accent (middle fabric) of a bolder pop (right hand fabric). Can’t wait to see it!

I like #2. I like the bright colors of #3 too but I think the more muted colors will work better in the long run. You can add bright throw pillows and/or a blanket to add more color. This way if you get sick of the bright stuff it’s easier to change out. Can’t wait to see the finished product!

Ooh, what fun! The one on the left looks a little bit Victorian grandma to me. I’m much more drawn to the modern shapes in 2 and 3. Although, they all kind of have the same feeling if you squint. #2 would have to be my pick, I love the soothing palette.
